Each compensation option will entitle the holder thereof to acquire one Unit at an exercise price of $0.35 per Unit on the same terms and conditions of the Offering, for a period of twenty-four (24) months from the closing of the Offering.

Net proceeds of the Offering are intended to be used by the Corporation for property acquisition and general corporate purposes.
